Text Race is an engaging and hands-on way for students to strengthen their understanding of different text types, specifically imaginative, informative and persuasive texts.

During Text Race, students identify text types from an image and a title as they race to fill their board. They take turns with a partner or in small groups to select a card from the pile. Students identify the text type represented on the card and place a counter in the corresponding section of their game board. Encourage students to justify their choice.

Text Race comes in both high and low colour versions, ensuring there is a printing option to suit your needs. To ensure longevity, it is recommended to print the game boards and cards on thick card. The cards must be cut out before playing, although this is the only preparation required. Please note that students will need counters to play the game.

It's time to get racing!
